As pointed out above, other employees may have left because of the misconduct aimed at them in the same time period.
It'd be more than a little ironic to tar all of those with the "suspected offender" brush.

Nihilistic? I was pointing out that there is some info one could use to inform their guess about whether someone is one of the harassers or not. And I'm saying I don't think it's a strong enough signal for most companies to use that information to filter applicants. If they did, they could be passing up people who happened to leave around the same time. How crappy would that be if people who left because they hated the awful state of things at ActiBlizz were getting caught up in that filter?
Even if you take a very nihilistic view of company morality... for simple liability reasons, most places don't want someone fired for sexual harassment.
But it's trivial for those fired to not get caught. For example, it's likely some (not a majority, but some) people are leaving Activision Blizzard over what's been uncovered, they could claim to be part of that group. Or they could just lie and say the left earlier.
